Answer 1

I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.
ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that
http://www.procapslabs.com/pcl/pages/pro...
This is in capsule form and easy to swallow. This company, ProCaps labs is also extremely reputable and carries pure and effective products.
I took GNC's Nourishair for four months, and supplemented it with extra Biotin tablets daily due to its low Biotin content. I took 2500 micrograms extra Biotin with the GNC pills.
The Procaps hair vites have 2500 micrograms of Biotin in them, and don't really require extra Biotin be taken, but I do take an additional 2500 micrograms of Biotin for a daily total of 5000 micrograms of Biotin.
My hair is growing in thick and dark and quite quickly. My hair used to be very slow growing, but all of these supplements have really made a difference.
The only way to really change the health of your hair is by taking supplements that work internally on the follicle where hair is made, any shampoos or oils or other topically applied things do nothing to change hair's structure, that can only happen with systemically provided support, which means supplements that you take internally.. Keep in mind, regardless of how many or how much you take of any supplement, hair is never going to grow at a "Jack and the beanstalk" type of rate, the most you can hope for is to improve the strength and health of each hair follicle and to see an incremental increase in the rate of its growth

Also, the answer from Lisa says 3000 mg of Biotin.....it is supposed to be 3000 MICROgrams of biotin or just THREE milligrams........3000 milligrams would be impossible to get.

Answer 2

First of all you are a very brave girl to be battling such a debilitating disorder. Not many people will ever understand the mental trauma that victims of eating disorders suffer. Keep up the good and healthy work! As for your hair, I'm sure vitamin E would help but due to your condition, I would consult with your physician first. Unfortunately, your hair is going to grow only as fast as it wants to. Until it gets to your desired length, why not try to utilize some cute short styles? To be honest, my boyfriend loves the sophisticated look of short hairstyles. I'm sure it's hard being used to having long hair but I'm sure if you played around with it, you will find an awesome hairstyle (schedule an appointment with a hairstylist for some suggestions). Good luck and keep up the awesome work!

I got my hair cut very short one summer and I wanted it to grow back quickly so I asked a Pharmacist, a doctor, and a beautician what to do to make my hair grow fast . All told me the same thing * Take pre-natal vitamins * . Also just from experience eat a lot of deer meat it is full of protein..

Answer 4

You need to go to a health food/vitamin store and get yourself Biotin. If you take 3000 mg per day, you should notice a BIG difference within 3 weeks. It will also help your nail growth. I worked for a dermatologist and we referred our patients to this all the time.

Answer 5

I used biotin, protien supplements and scalp massage with diluted rosemary oil.

Worked for me. I noticed a huge difference in about 2 weeks.
